Please realize that there are people who served jail time only years and years ago who need help, too. See Del Joe Johnson for a copy of research I gave him and a request for expungement
legislation to help these people immediately and the ones addressed in this bill in time. The current bill will not help these people. I am referring to bright people who were offenders several years to decades ago who have college degrees, have not been repeat offenders, and who are barred from professional jobs due to licensing being denied, who cannot have public housing/rental appl. approved, who cannot receive any govt. benefits or college loans, who are, in essence, put out on the street for life.
This population is the most needy population in America. Please be sure Sen. Puller reads this comment. And, please be sure the information I gave to Del. Joe Johnson is provided to her. This is my second year to ask someone among our elected officials to address this issue. Thank you.
